A new study says nearly 1 billion adults in the developing world have a weight problem. That's nearly 4 times the number recorded in 1980. North America still has the highest percentage of overweight adults. But Australasia and Latin America are catching up fast. Our global health correspondent, Tulip Mazumdar reports

Fast food used to be a treat here in the states. I remember my folks (who both worked) ) late 60s early 70s, would buy it for us kids on a Friday night when we would all go out to the drive in movies. Kentucky fried chicken once or twice a year. Pizza 3 or 4 times a year. Chinese rarely. Now people eat these (food treats) as dinner, and for most of their meals?
Also, my folks wouldn't dream of serving soda with any meal, except for summer BBQs and picnics, a weekend treat. Jeez, soda used to be expensive, and you never got free refills. I raised my kids the same way. (though it could be trying at times, when most of their friends were raised on it) I'm tired of being visually assaulted every time I leave the house. Most have no shame and flaunt it with tattoos and skimpy clothing. Its just unbelievable how quickly obesity has become the norm. Make time to cook at home once in a while, and when your kid is hungry between meals, give them an apple or an orange to suffice. Its OK and used to be normal to feel hunger between meas. Its just awful the things I see kids eating, that their parents choose to give them, as they walk around the grocery store and streets. Should they really be eating while walking? I'm really beginning to think, now that there are so many obese people. How in the world are they going to raise normal weight and able children, when they themselves refuse to see the light. Just sickening. Stop buying all that processed sugary garbage, and reeducate yourself on eating life giving foods. Its really not that difficult. Stop eating so much!!! Sorry for the rant. Just spent!
I understand you perfectly. Even as a kid during the 90s, I remember we were advised to not consume too much fast food. We mostly ate at home, and if we did eat out we went to decent good quality restaurants.
I even remember when fat people were outcasted and bullied, but now it's the reverse and on thin people cause overweight / obese now represent the majority
+larkatmic *This product WeightLossGreenStoretea has been a TREMENDOUS support to my weight loss effort. Down 24 lbs. in 3 months, and still losing*.
Not sure how it is in other parts of the country. But I know at my high school my senior year, they replaced all the sugary food you could get at the school store with low fat and no calorie food including barbecue and potato chips (somehow) and drinks that were basically water with actual flavor (delicious I might add) and most other things. Not to mention we have a closed campus. So kids couldn't just get in their cars and head to fast food joints. I hope other schools are following suit. Overall, we do have a lower than national average obesity rate.
GameAddict51 why can't American schools cook things home made, and use whole fruits and vegetables? Many argue its cause of money
Heathercliff you are correct but it takes work to get kids off sugar, it’s very addictive
Please check out Dr. Hardy’s video on changing eating behaviors

My grandpa said that the medium cup size at McDonald’s used to be a large when he was younger.
He's right
I went to wendys today and asked for a medium drink and they gave me what looked like an extra large sized drink. I havent been to fast food places in a long time lol.
I remember it too. When in school, very rarely as a treat, we went to have a hamburger and the ordinary one back then was what is now their smallest. I still order that one today, it's never shown on the menu as a "meal" so you have to ask for it specifically. Same with fries 🍟 the smallest one has to be asked for specifically. I've actually never eaten the McNuggets or the donuts 🍩 they seem unhealthy 🤔. And we don't have KFC in my country insofar I know, maybe they don't sell so well over here.
Good news - fat doesn't make you fat
Bad news - Sugar will
Eating healthy food is a habbit, u get used to that over time, u just need to put some efforts in it
Yes your quite right.it takes time to adjust when u eat better for long enough it becomes normal
Y'know, I honestly just thought you were gonna go with the obese American stereotype here, but you actually pointed out problems outside of the US. Nice work!
Lies again? Motivation Workout
In France we have a current issue: fast food and US food corp industries are taking over the food market and the "Bistros" Produits du terroir" places progressively vanishes.
When standardized food arrives in a nation it also tend as part of the vicious circle to uniformise and destroy the cultural gastronomy and legacy of a whole country.
The last time I was in Geneva I was shocked that all the school kids ran to McDonald's after school and passed all the wonderful little shops to eat. None looked fat but it looked like the start of a future problem.
same thing is going on in Italy
@alain mancini-brown yes I know my house is 4 kilometers southeast of Geneva in Menier/Gy area. It is 100 meters from the French border. I was just saying the same problem is happening in Geneva. The schoolkids eating McDonalds instead of local food.
Moi je vis au Québec et les Québécois sont aussi gros que les français.
Louis Brasil That’s sad to hear. You must resist or you’ll become a fat nation. The French know how to eat properly for health and enjoyment.
Although many korean people still like vegetables, there are several healthy problems among children one of the reasons is that they are not get used to eat vegetable. Their vegetable consumption(is spell right?? I forgot, sorry) is much less than that of adults(over 20years). I think it results from changing Food consumption trend(ex)korean traditional style=>enjoying fast food trend)
Lee Lemon whilst exercising less. A lot of people don’t calculate exercise whilst they eat what they eat. After all a lot of athletes eat a lot of food that would make them fat if they didn’t exercise as much as they do.
what I always ask myself is bcz it's said that asian vegetables and rice are more loaded with pesticides but there aren't much news about following health problems (cancer, toxication)
Lets stop subsidizing the production of unhealthy foods first, and then discuss whether there is still a good enough reason to tax those products.
@Heather Larson lol
magister343 I think people seriously need to consider the fact that it is true that eating healthier is cheaper than eating junk food.
@@coraldiamond1922 Eating healthier tends to have lower marginal costs when measured in terms of money, but it often takes much more time and higher upfront costs (a kitchen, pots and pans, etc).
It is most prevalent in the Anglophone world, and the Middle East. In the former it is largely diet related. In the latter, lack of physical activity.
It is a matter of diet. In Egypt, I live with my family in the countryside and most people here are fit because we don't have MacDonald or KFC😅
So what is the answer to the question in the video title?
In Greece the porblem is a little bit different: we dont have so many fast foods, as much as we got restaurants with cheap meals. Is not that we are eating like 2 or 3 burgers but we eat so much meat. Greece is having the buggest childhood obesiety issue in Europe. Is like we get a gyro or a kebap, is ok thats not that fatty, but when you wake up with breakfast go at school take a sandwitch then after school ice cream or gyros and later food at home such as pastichio, bollognez or meat for the rest of the day. Or even in cellebrations when we are making barbeques in school and after straight again barbeque at home
Koreans eat more veggies because meat is twice as expensive as in the U.S. They don't have the land mass to raise nearly the cattle livestock as we do. My buddy from SK came over for a couple weeks to Ohio & took me to several chain steak houses because the steaks were only half as much as they were in SK. And he enjoyed every bite of them.
It’s always hilarious how angrily defensive people get when you point out their poor life choices.
Almost every restaurant is a BBQ or chicken restaurant, usually fried chicken. Restaurants buy foreign beef usually from Australia which is cheaper. There is quite a lot of alcohol and junk food available. Surprised to see this woman saying she'd never eat fatty foods when I saw Koreans eating so many of them.
I live in the uk which is around the size of florida. 70 million people here and almost 80% are overweight (as of the video, I assume it is more now)
yeah in south east asia (indonesia) most eaten here was tofu or tempeh (soy base) sometime chicken or fish,but mostly soybeans base,
tofu and tempeh is cheap,traditional,but nutritition especially high calcium,
meat kinda more pricey than tofu/tempeh,the cheap meat is chicken,fish,than meat/organ cow
but still i love cow meat,but if i have to choose,i choose sheep my fav! then tempeh and tofu after it
I mean I'm still hungry even after eating burger and chicken from kfc but I'm already full after eating a half portion of some traditional food that contains many vegetables.
I don't know if my mind play some tricks or whatever it is, but junk food makes us craves for more food than what we need daily.
vegetables have a lot of fiber (and water) which saturate you faster and for longer time. fat doesn't saturate you for a long time.
.... I think it is the portion of your food that caused the problem...
True. People are more confused than ever with all this fad diets and BS experts. It is simply calories in vs out and it what is supported by almost all peer reviewed non biased research.
Nope. Nothing to do with calories. It's too much carbs too often.
It is the fact that garbage food has little to no nutrients and so many damn calories. Bcs u have not enough nutrients in like let's say, a burger, your body tells you that youre hungry and to eat more and more so it can get all the little nutrients and benefits possible from that garbage food. Just eat normal food packed witg vitamins and minerals and nutrients to respect your body
@@jaredgarbo3679 and sugar and its processed and chemically produced GARBAGE...
Uummmm.....i can eat a whole bowl of white rice and not get any weight. Note that I don't consume sugar and processed foods. I always eat whole foods and vegetables
1, processed food, GMO, etc.
2, Stressful life->depression->eating more
3, Extended working hours->less sleep and recreation time-stress
4, for digest of meat and bread>needs high sugar contained deink for digest(=coke)
5, No exercise or just walking 1 hour a day for work instead in car or bus
At 1:49 the girl in the white says the food give u heart decease...all I can think about is..are u going to eat that??? Cus that loooks so freakin good!!
@Drake Coldman i could eat the burger but everything else looks so greasy
What you eat and add to your body is your concern and your foult.
not at all it is a public health problems that affects us all as society, our economy and our future as a collective.
I wonder if people in the countries with these obesity problems strive, and are determined to make different lifestyle choices and end the stigmas behind their country once they hear of them?
If healthier foods are cheap as the price as a big bag of chips or 2L soda I think obesity would be a problem.
I could buy big bag a chips, Soda, & a large chocolate bar and it would be the same about has a bag of oranges.
+Chrystine Marie I disagree: A large bag of chips- 3.42, 2L soda-1.48 large chocolate bar-2.00 Total:=6.90//Bag of kale (cheaper if not in the bag;for kale chips) 2.98, Lemons for lemon water 3 for $1, frozen grapes for a snack 1.58 a pound=5.56. Bag of oranges-2.98...
So healthier foods are cheap people are just to lazy to prepare their own food (and no I'm not calling you lazy. Just in general. Yea I hate when I'm jonesing for kale chips I have to measure it out (I never eat the whole bag in one sitting) measure out the season-all (gotta watch the sodium) and then bake for 10 minutes (I don't use oil anymore got to watch the sat fat too but an olive oil spray)
+Chrystine Marie also I got the figures from Wal-Mart.com and a local store here called H.E.B to see the prices of produce you can put in zip code 78758 if you're not in texas and fact check me if you want.
kittym19 a small box of strawberries in Hawaii cost 6 bucks while a bag of chips cost 3 bucks. While I can afford fruit here I can see how hard it is for family’s to afford this
us in east and southeast asia always eat carbs specially rice, but we dont get that much fat
coz its still better than eating junk food
to be specific,if you eat 100 gram bread/flour it will be equal to 300 gram rice from calorie count
so even tho south east asia eat more rice/carbs,it is still can be normal portion (maybe 300 gram-600 gram per day per person depends on people it self,it same as 100-200 gram bread)
as long not eating "too much" fat and "too much" sugar,it will be safe tho
i don't to much like something too greasy or too sweet except if it honey (it is have many beneficial) and eat it around 3-6 table spoon per day) sometimes i'm not eating sugar like month
i think process food,sugary,soda,fat, was the biggest problem obesity in america
Government can only make it worse. There is no one size fits all way to address obesity.
0:45 - 0:48 ----> In the developing world like the UK and the US...? ?
Our entire planet is undeveloped
developed ..
The obesity problem, we are told, is because we eat too much.
But we don’t talk about WHY we eat too much. It’s because we are told to eat a low fat diet, so we stuff more carbs and starches down our pie holes and never “feel full”. So we keep eating and eating and eating. Fat is not the enemy. Sugar is.
Yey! I'm OMAD low carb and high fat, nice to know I am not alone.
Sugar is the devil!
You're absolutely Wright
It's a drug that is very tough to give up
02:47 - "...only thing that will get lighter is people's wallets." 😂🤣
Oh yea, tax, of course. Obesity gets political too.
love your reply its so true
why no one knows nauuru ?
Today good professionals doctors and scientists then why people are suffering from obesity problems today all foods belongs to a multinational companies then why diseases
Well Mexico is overpopulated so yeah I guess the number quadruples but it’s not the fatties countries like US and UK. People just need to try new healthy foods to be able to change their taste buds and lose weight. Changes are hard when you’re coming from a very fatty diet but you just have to adjust your lifestyle and eat these foods occasionally.
I would say the USA.
One of our problems in this country is the medias obsession with cooking programs
BBC and ITV seem to have most of so come on BBC stop these programs instantly you are as much of the problem as the adverts
@Elvin Ostrup It can encourage people to eat more the same as food advertising .Thought that was obvious or why else would they advertise ?
Wait a minute . . . aren't pork spareribs, beef short ribs, sirloins and tenderloins very popular in Seoul? But I suppose they withhold the bun.
They dont overeat!
I know everyone calls it an epidemic but I only see slim people everywhere 🤷♀️
In Italy we have the same problem! Southern Italy is going to be the new USA. But kocal people doesn't care about this.
Just ban the advertisement of fast food, ban trans fats, increase VAT on fattening, high calorie and sugary products
U think its that simple? Eat 30 healthy bananas a day and see how fat you can get.
@@SSchithFoo who eats 30 bananas a day?
2014 was nine years ago. Nine.
Love the product. I tried Weight Loss Green Store Tea and it worked perfectly! I have noticed a marked reduction in my appetite and have lost 7lbs.
Red meat is not the culprit, the culprit is fries, bread pasta, sugar, industrial vegetable oils all devoid of nutrients! AND LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!! I often get comments from people because I walk and do not have a car, I use public transport. 20 minutes walk to the subway is a lot for most people!!! This problem is everywhere not just Saudi Arabia.
I'm vegetarian since I born. But my weight is increased in recent 2 years because i was preparing for exams means lack of exercise
All country where covid killed the most
Dedicated to "Junk Food" Eaters.
So ,which country has the biggest problem?
the moon?
Time we scrap the sugar tax, end the moral police etc
Everyone is beautiful and I wanna hug you all
America spread fast food around the world!
Omg... All these long comments and I just want to read some short opinions!
This is NOT news. Talk about pharma compagnies .
This product really helps. I would recommend Weight Loss Green Store Tea to anyone.
Want to put on weight.? Eat, eat, eat , flour, sugar, and as many carbohydrates as you can shove into your mouth. You are what you eat.

Speaking from my experience
Losing weight is not easy
But it's possible if we work
Harder. Various reasons are linked to a sedentary lifestyle in overweight persons: physical limitations due to weight, associated diseases like diabetes and hypertension, tiredness due to sleep apnea, poor access to appropriate weight loss methods
will not work. Try drinking warm water or warm tea.

Take care of your children
And stop dragging them to
Bad eating health.
Europe's obesity and overweight rate is very very low. America has a very very high obesity rate and same goes with most the pacific islands.
no it isn't the UK is from Europe and it has a high obesity rate
Well brexit happened
Ao Chen well that has nothing to do with obesity
Chris Shattuck Europe has a way more lower obesity rate compared to America, the pacific islands and other countries
Depends UK and Spain are quite fat but in countries like Poland, Slovenia and Holland people take care of themselves more.
youtubes´´walter piston´´´´mon amore´´ explains it better. later...
Just limit ur calories, thats it.
The answer is clear. America
Low fat is bad for you
Sodas and starches are the big culprit
Why they did not take into account the United States where you can see obese people in electric carts very often weighing more than 300 or 500 pounds 🤔
Traditional food like rice and curries are also high calorie energy dense foods. Good for farmers who spend a lot or energy but not so much for average knowledge worker. Obesity has nothing to do with fast food rather taking in more than you spend.

Sad
I cannot say that I was shocked when the United States was mentioned. I had originally thought that we had the biggest problem with obesity because that has now become your stereotypical American. However, I was surprised to see that developing countries also have a big problem. I think this might have been because I was thinking more along the lines of third world, impoverished countries that do not have much food to begin with. Until about a month ago I thought that obesity had to do with just plain laziness and ingesting too much food, but now I have come to know that there are other biological factors mixed in. Regardless of that I am amazed by the increase in the amount of obese individuals over the past thirty years.
Ben Brown there are a few biological factors but for most people especially children though young adults that are becoming obese it’s eating junk( super, red mean, no veggies etc..) and not doing some form of exercise. It’s hard for a lot of people but if they start young then it will be worth it. Being very over weight or obese causes depression, body issues( mentally an physically) and shortens life span.
Someone’s has already made a racist joke to Americans in the comments. I know it.
American is not a race it is a nationality
America
